You may want to check out http://www.polyconomics.com/ for a memo from Jack Kemp to Dan Quayle opposing Nato's bombing of Yugoslavia. Hard to find much to disagree with -- it's a pretty sad comment on the "left" wing of the establishment when Mr. Kemp is only mainstream politician speaking out against the bombing in any serious way.

Some choice excepts:

" World peace cannot rest on American threats of violence, bombs at midnight or the "bully" tactics of President Clinton."

"It was the IMF that created a tinderbox out of the Balkans at the end of the Cold War. The result of the IMF’s deadly economic medicine of the late 1980s has been to bankrupt the entire Yugoslav economy, destroy the currency and unemploy the people. We should be doing everything possible to prevent the IMF from re-entering the region and undermining efforts to rebuild the economies. "
